By having 90 attack, I’m equipped to use the most powerful range of weapons. 42 Str gives me access to the Berserk abilities RuneScape Gold. Because of the way that combat is calculated now and the levels of combat I receive from melee are comparable to having only level 66 Mage or Range. But, strength is different since the launch of “Combat Improvements” and I’ve had trouble completing KOs as I did when I was practicing pvp against Leo.
50 Defence gives me access to the cheapest Power armour, which is Rockshell/Spined/Skeletal. 61 Pray grants the same combat level as 60 Pray, which allows you to access for me the Amulet of Zealots, arguably one of the best amulets on the market. 67 Summoning is for a Tortoise but I never found a reason to use it.
In the coming Defence reset, I am given the possibility of resetting to the defence level of level 1. However, this would render me ineligible to use Power armourand lock out the crucial Freedom ability. I could train back up to level 34 within a few minutes, but what would be the point of reset?
Another thing to note can be said to say that PvP is basically out of the game, with warbands being the only exception, and since the changes to mechanisms for warbands there’s little benefit to having a low combat level any more.
If I train up my combatskills, I’ll be able access higher slayer masters, which speeds up my main objective. It was very difficult getting to the 89th slayer level without being able to do Smoking Kills until 90 combat. The inability to use Kuradel or the Iowerth slayer master will probably be just as frustrating, though on the other hand it would be an interesting achievement getting 99 slayers Buy Old School RS Gold, and not ever having the ability to use a master better than Sumona.
